Tree Removal

Need a tree removed?

/1 Any size, any spot. From a single dead tree in the backyard to large storm-damaged giants over the house, we handle removals of any size, in any location.

/2 Safety first. Every removal starts with a proper risk assessment, then the right method for the job, straight felling or careful piece-by-piece climbing near homes and power lines.

/3 Bushfire ready. We know the 10/50 clearing scheme inside out and can help you remove trees within 10 metres of your home, often without council approval.

/4 Fast response. Storm brought a tree down, or about to? We prioritise dangerous and damaged trees so the risk to your home is gone as quickly as possible.

Tree Removal Services across the Shoalhaven

No matter the size or location, we offer professional, safe and reliable tree removal services for Ulladulla and surrounds. Once it is determined that your tree is to be removed rather than lopped, we remove the whole tree from your property.

About Us

You don't always need approval

Skim Council Approval

Just pop your address into the NSW RFS 10/50 tool to see if you qualify, then let Above The Rest handle the rest. For full details, check the NSW RFS 10/50 page.

F.A.Q

Common Questions?

Can you mulch the trees on-site?: Yes! We offer on-site mulching services to make cleanup super easy.
Which method do you use for residential properties?: We typically use the piece-by-piece method when removing trees close to residential or commercial properties for safety.
When might I need tree removal?: Common reasons include: trees within 10 metres of a home (bushfire safety — 10/50 scheme); sick or dead trees; trees too close to property causing damage; leaning trees; fire or storm damaged trees; view-blocking trees or land clearing.
How do you ensure safe removal?: Our tree surgeons assess each situation and determine the best approach for safe and swift removal, regardless of tree size or location.
Do you use heavy machinery?: Heavy machinery like bulldozers are mainly used for land clearing during development projects, not typical residential tree removal.
How do you remove trees?: Depending on the tree size, available space and nearby dangers (other trees, property, power lines), we will either cut at the base and cut the trunk into pieces on the ground, or use the piece-by-piece method, removing the tree branch by branch by climbing or using elevated platforms.
What is tree removal?: Tree removal involves completely removing a tree from your property, as opposed to tree lopping which only trims branches.

What Customers say

We would like to thank you and your team for doing such a great job on our tree. Great communication and such quick service at a price well below what we were expecting. And such a great clean up! Looking at the site now, you'd never even guess that a huge tree was there this morning. Thank you again. We would highly recommend you.

Laurel and Bob McDonald

Jesse from Above the Rest was wonderful to work with - he promptly visited my house to assess what needed to be done and provided great advice and suggestions. The job of taking down a very large old callistemon and two smaller trees, and grinding the stumps, was done professionally and within the agreed timeframe, and all waste was removed. Above the Rest came highly recommended to me and I in turn highly recommended the company to others! Thanks Jesse for such a great job!
